Whether you’re planning a cozy backyard wedding or an adventurous elopement in the mountains, we’ll capture it with care and creativity.

Writing a LONG overdue review for Megan and Kenneth, who we worked with for our summer 2025 wedding in Saugerties, NY. These two are simply the best of the best!!!! After seeing Megan and Kenneth’s photography style, we knew we were interested in working with them, but once we had our first phone call, we were sold. These two are true professionals— they are organized, efficient with communication, and ultimately, caring friends and partners to their clients. We had full trust in Megan and Kenneth on the day of our engagement shoot and on our wedding day, and they were such a kind and comforting presence throughout. They helped my husband and I feel at ease in front of the camera! Not to mention— we got our photos back SO fast after our wedding :) We are so, so grateful to Megan and Kenneth for absolutely everything. Hire them — you will be so glad you did!!!

Hi, I’m Richard, a wedding photographer based in the Hudson Valley. My passion is finding the beauty in the simplest moments and capturing them in a way that feels raw, real, and full of life. As a candid, photojournalist photographer, I’m all about ditching stiff poses to focus on the relationships, the laughs, and the genuine emotions that tell your distinct story. I aim to capture the little details and authentic moments that make your day uniquely yours.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our very first email exchange to the moment we received our photos, every step of working with Rich was an incredible experience. He always responded quickly, answered every question with patience, and offered thoughtful suggestions I hadn’t even considered. His preparation before the wedding gave us confidence that everything would run smoothly, and it truly did. Richard was exceptionally professional, respectful, kind, and understanding. On our wedding day, he brought a sense of calm amid the chaos. He blended seamlessly into the flow of events—always present when needed, but never intrusive—and coordinated effortlessly with our families, bridal party, and other vendors. He was also incredibly organized with the shots we needed, keeping us on track without ever making us feel rushed. Richard delivered our full gallery exactly one month after our wedding and just before Thanksgiving so we could share the photos with our families over the holiday. It meant so much to us and we were thrilled to receive our pictures so quickly. Looking through the gallery felt like reliving the entire day, moment by moment. He captured the vibe and essence of our wedding perfectly. I especially appreciated his ideas and direction, and his artistic eye genuinely blew us away. He noticed angles, lighting, and emotional moments, capturing everything from the big highlights to the smallest in-between moments. The pictures he took of us, our families, and our venue were stunning—so much so that multiple friends texted us saying the photos looked like they belonged in Vogue. That is entirely to Richard’s credit. Choosing Richard as our wedding photographer was, without question, one of the best decisions I made in the entire wedding process. I am endlessly grateful to have these photos to cherish forever. Choose Rich as your wedding photographer - you will not regret it!!!!

Jim and Sarah of Black Walnut Farm have created a haven for love. Every inch of their 34 acres is carefully curated for a truly magical experience. As Matt and I approached our forest ceremony enclave, filled with our loved ones, the happy tears were instant thanks to their attention to detail. We chose Black Walnut Farm, after exploring numerous venues, because of their perfectly decorated barn complete with 4 foot disco ball, manicured gardens, equally charming farmhouse to stay the weekend with family, smore station, popcorn machine, audio guestbook, and of course their property manager, Miss Lily, the barn cat. What we didn’t expect to be included in our wedding package was the amount of care, energy, support, and love we felt from Jim, Sarah, and the staff at Black Walnut Farm as they effortlessly managed the most memorable day of our lives. Thank you for making our dreams come true and for being the best wedding venue we could ask for! There is no place like Black Walnut Farm.

Eddie & Dave were awesome! They were our DJ and emcee for our wedding ceremony and reception on August 31. Eddie was easy to communicate with, and was there for us through the whole experience from beginning to end. The second it was dance time, they got the crowd up and out onto the dance floor in a heartbeat, and most didn’t leave the dance floor until the night was over. DJ was good, knew what songs to play, when to play them, and played the ones I wanted. And the emcee was awesome, funny & easily able to get people involved in whatever!! We also rented a Photo Booth through DJ Double E and it was a HUGE hit!! They’re awesome and I would totally book them again!

  • Serves East Chatham, NY

I'm Matthew, a wedding photographer based in Garrison, NY. With a decade as a wedding photographer and 15 years as an educator, I bring two things to every wedding: the ability to document moments as they happen, and the calm to handle whatever the day brings. I prepare carefully, communicate beforehand, and stay present when it's busy. My style is mostly documentary. I blend into the wedding, observing and documenting moments as they happen rather than staging them. Feedback I hear most often is that couples weren't aware of me, but that I got everything. I work with all couples and celebrate every kind of love, and every kind of marriage.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so grateful we booked Matthew for our wedding photography. His thoughtfulness, professionalism, and organization were exactly what we were looking for. His eye for scenery and lighting also really set him apart. Throughout our wedding journey, his thoughtful planning helped set a timeline for our big day. He listened to what we wanted, and his personalized schedule allowed for plenty of time with our guests while also composing beautiful shots. On the day of the wedding, he made us feel comfortable just being ourselves and blended seamlessly into the background when needed. He also did not hesitate to suggest the small adjustments we needed to make a beautiful shot. We truly meant it when we told him we were most excited to work with him out of all of the vendors, and we would book him again and again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Matthew!

Skylark Music

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves East Chatham, NY

Jesse and Justin have been playing music together since they met performing in a band at Disneyland in 2001. After moving to Beacon, NY around the same time, it made sense to start an official wedding music business to share their love of music with some of the many happy couples getting married in the Hudson Valley. One thing they love about playing music for weddings is the variety that is required of them. Every gig is different and they all happen on one of the happiest days of the clients' lives!

Awarded Best of Zola
Justin was a pleasure to work with from the initial interview to the last song at our wedding. Justin played with a three piece band for our ceremony (guitar, piano, bass) and cocktail hour (saxophone, piano, bass) and then DJ'd our reception. Justin made sure that the music played at our wedding and cocktail hour was tailored to specifically match the vibe of our dinner playlist. He even surprised us by playing one of our favorite Herbie Hancock tunes during cocktail hour. The vibe of the live jazz trio during cocktail hour was a perfect transition over to dinner. Justin then switched over to DJ our dinner and reception afterwards. He played all the right songs to keep the dance floor flowing all night. If you are seeking a combination of live music and DJ at your wedding I would highly recommend Skylark Music.

Fran and her team were amazing! I did two hair trials with Fran before the wedding, and she was so patient and helpful while we figured out the perfect style for me. On the wedding day, Fran focused on my hair while her team handled my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup, and everything came out beautifully. I absolutely loved how my hair turned out. It was exactly what I envisioned, but even more beautiful. Everyone loved how they looked, and the styles held all night. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to get ready with!

From our first interaction with Valentino Entertainment, LLC, we were impressed by their thorough, relaxed, and reassuring communication style. Paul and his team provided a truly professional experience, with top-notch equipment and amazing value for the services they delivered. They worked tirelessly as our hard-working entertainers, genuinely caring about making our special day a blast. The reception environment was such an active party - at one point, I went back to the head table to get water and no one was sitting, as people were fully dancing or enjoying the music from the sidelines. Even when we had to make some last-minute changes to the day's details, Paul was able to roll with it seamlessly, even practicing our long last name until he got it right. The remainder of the reception was an absolute blast, with people dancing through the entire end of the night. It was truly the best day and party we could have had, and we would hire Valentino Entertainment, LLC again in a heartbeat. The photobooth was also a great value-add.

Heather and Jay were incredible to work with. I truly cannot thank them enough. Heather did full decor for my whole wedding weekend. I had an Indian wedding so there were TONS of design needs (frankly more than I thought), and Heather accommodated every request and was so helpful through all the planning. We would have check-in phone calls, and she would walk us through spreadsheets with every tiny decor detail recorded. She was also very helpful with planning and was upfront about everything, gave us options to work through any budgeting/feasibility concerns, and helped with a lot of that wedding decision fatigue. Her husband Jay was instrumental in some of the more elaborate things we asked for, like balconies draped in greenery and a mandap stage. They did two site visits with us for our peace of mind so we could get every detail hammered out. Heather also made lots of great suggestions when I was out of my depth and coordinated with our venue. On the weekend of, I saw her once or twice but otherwise just trusted her absolutely to execute. And the actual decor! It was BEAUTIFUL. She turned our reception hall and outdoor wedding tent into a lush, colourful flower wonderland. We had a rustic barn onsite, and she draped the roof with poms and disco balls. She also used bright colours and dried flowers to brighten the indoors. Her husband Jay custom built us wooden pools for a Hindi haldi ceremony. Our wedding mandap was covered in beautiful roses, and it was magical to get married under. Each space felt distinct and memorable but all beautiful crafted. I could tell a lot of love and thought went into every part. Do not hesitate to book with Cullen Creations. You are in incredible hands. As a bride, I worried and hoped that my vendors would treat my special day which as much care as I was putting in. With Heather, I never had a doubt. She made all my needs feel heard and ultimately made magic happen.

There aren't enough stars to give Eddie at Anecdote Photography. If you're considering Anecdote Photography, stop looking and book Eddie! Like most couples, we wanted beautiful wedding photos—but what we didn't expect was to gain someone who would become such an essential part of our wedding day. From our very first phone call, Eddie made us feel completely comfortable. Neither of us are naturals in front of a camera, but he guided us just enough to make everything feel effortless while still capturing genuine, candid moments. The result was a gallery that perfectly reflects who we are and lets us relive every emotion of the day. On the wedding day itself, Eddie absolutely blew us away. He thoughtfully organized every family photo so nothing was missed, kept everyone moving without ever making us feel rushed, wrangled family members with ease, got genuine smiles out of everyone, and even cued our DJ and vendors to keep the entire timeline on track. It seemed like every time there was a problem, Eddie had already solved it before I even knew it existed. What impressed me most wasn't just his incredible talent behind the camera—it was his professionalism, attention to detail, and anticipation. Even though we had a day-of coordinator, Eddie played just as important a role in keeping the day running smoothly. He allowed us to be fully present and actually enjoy our wedding instead of worrying about logistics. And then there are the photos. They are everything we hoped for and more—a perfect mix of timeless portraits, emotional candid moments, and so much fun. Every image brings us right back to that day. If you're considering Anecdote Photography, stop looking and book Eddie. I can honestly say he was one of the best investments we made for our wedding, and I would recommend him to absolutely anyone without hesitation. Thank you, Eddie, for capturing our day so beautifully and for being so much more than a photographer. We are forever grateful.

Hiring Jess was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, period! From the first time we met, Jess showed genuine care, attention, and excitement about who we are and our special day. Our work kicked off together during an engagement shoot at Coney Island. She went above and beyond-driving 5 hours from the Hudson Valley to meet us at our dream location. We spent the night together, and she never made us feel like we were on the clock. Jess is truly so generous with her time. Our wedding day was of course, even more special. Taking photos with my husband, Jess, and her brilliant second shooter were some of the best moments of our day. Jess went above and beyond her role of photographer - making sure our special people looked tidy, keeping us all on schedule, and ensuring we were well fed and hydrated throughout the day. What really stood out is the care she showed for my loved ones: a family member with autism, and my 97-year-old grandma; having adjusted the schedule to accommodate them. We received a highlights gallery within days of our wedding, and the full album within 2 months (gratefully before Thanksgiving so we could reminisce over the holiday with our loved ones). Before our wedding, I walked through my Pinterest board with Jess. I see so much of what we discussed shine through in our photos. I am so impressed with Jess' attention to detail and diversity in portfolio - from documentary style to editorial shots. Finally, Jess has great knowledge of our venue, Bear Mountain Inn and the accompanying state park. She took us to incredible hidden pockets in the woods, and navigated to the more heavily trafficked viewpoints with expertise. We are so grateful to Jess for capturing our day with so much warmth and love. Hiring Jess is the best decision you'll make in wedding planning! 3

She helped me get dressed and probably did my bustle for me at least 5 times. She kept the mood light and fun and worked so efficiently we were able to enjoy our cocktail hour. I cannot recommend her enough. We just got our sneak peeks back and I am obsessed!

Lynette and Bryndon are the best around! I used them for both my photo and video, and they give you nothing but perfection! Everything came out better than I expected. They arrived on time if not early. They were very respectful in the church. They learned my entire bridal party’s names so instead of saying “you” and pointing, they said their actual names. They were very encouraging to my husband and I throughout the day, and very helpful with anything we needed. They also were very helpful before the wedding day. Lynette helped me figure out timing for the day, and that truly helped it run smoothly and on time. They gave us a large “sneak peak” within two weeks of the wedding, and then had the entire wedding album back around 3 months. The videos came back about a month and a half after the wedding. They shot my cousins wedding back in 2021, and my friends wedding in 2023 so by my wedding they truly felt like the are apart of my family. I highly recommend pioneer media for your photography and videography needs!!

We had our wedding at Kindred Creeks at the beginning of May 2022. I have so many great things to say about this place! First off, Jill was extraordinary, caring, attentive and so helpful from start to finish. She was able to work within our budget while keeping our dream wedding a reality. She had rain plans, sunny day plans, plans for more or less people and was thorough throughout. Her father, Gerry, who lives in the farm came out the day before and day of the wedding to make sure we were taken care of and that anything we needed would be done. And the tent staff was kind, courteous and officiant! The grounds itself were gorgeous! We were the first to use the airstream bridal suite which got so many compliments and great photos. They also redid the bridge across the creek for the wedding party to walk over during the ceremony. I fell in love with the green barn and even though it needs to come down soon, they held off construction so we could take pictures in front of it. We got married right where the two creeks meet which was so beautiful. All our guest had nothing be great things to say and we are beyond happy with the experience. If you are thinking of taking a tour of the farm, don’t hesitate! You will fall in love just like we did!

As someone who truly values wedding cake, there was a lot of pressure from family and friends. Victoria and I chatted directly several times, and mostly because she was so lovely I wanted to talk to her more. She is an INCREDIBLE artist with true talent for bringing flavors and designs to life. This cake was so stunning it stole the show! She is communicative, transparent, kind, and thoughtful. The entire process was executed flawlessly.

Mikayla and her team made my bridesmaids and I look gorgeous on my wedding day this past June. There was even a last minute issue where the hair stylist who did my original trial had an emergency that morning and couldn't make it. Mikayla took care of it at 7am and I didn't even find out there was a hiccup until I arrived later in the morning. She made me feel relaxed and listened to all of my last minute changes that day. She has a lovely energy and made sure our morning ran smoothly understood my request to not start before 8am despite having 7 bridesmaids and worked to get an extra stylist to make it happen. Highly recommend her services!

We got married in November at the Silver Bay YMCA, and we cannot recommend Scott and his team enough. We knew we wanted a live band for part of our wedding and they were the best band we could have chosen. Our first meeting with Scott we could tell he understood our wedding day vision right away and was willing to work with us on learning new music to fulfill our nerdy requests. For example the team learned acoustic versions of 90's alternative songs, and the groomsmen and bridal party walked down the aisle to Legend of Zelda, my wife walked down the aisle to Nightmare before Christmas, and then we recessed to Studio Ghibli. Cocktail hr, all our guests commented how amazing the band was and how they enjoyed the live music. If you want something different for your wedding, we were thoroughly impressed at the musical abilities and made our music dreams come true. Thank you to this very special team!

The Views at Mt Fuji was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, Pia was attentive and incredibly helpful in guiding us through the planning process. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, with a traditional Japanese aesthetic. Everyone loved the food (and many thought that our spread at the cocktail hour was actually dinner!). Throughout the event, the staff ensured we were well taken care of, always making sure we had food and drinks at our loveseat table. The best part is that so much of the decoration, cake, and other includes are already taken care of, which let us focus on other things. Very, very happy with Pia and Mt. Fuji!

The Garrison was the perfect venue for our winter wedding. Annie was incredible for all of the coordination, and we loved working with our day-of attendant, Fatima, who made the entire event personal, seamless and low maintenance. From the very beginning, their communication was quick, easy and incredibly helpful as we planned our big day. The views both inside and outside the venue were absolutely breathtaking. The Garrison team created an authentic and memorable experience that we will cherish forever. We couldn't have imagined getting married anywhere else and recommend them to everyone!
